Beating the Heat

Fiona Good makes splashdown at the end of the water slide at the Greencastle Aquatic Center Tuesday afternoon. Emma Hazel of the Aquatic Center said attendance at the center has tapered off in recent weeks, beginning with the Putnam County Fair. However, extreme heat this week has prompted a bit of a change. "With the hot days, it's pretty busy," she said. The Aquatic Center hopes to see even more traffic today, as the Greencastle Parks and Recreation Department is encouraging everyone to beat the heat with a free open swim from noon to 8 p.m. Banner Graphic/JARED JERNAGAN
